Lots of people have posted here and elsewhere about their problem with Spotify automatically playing when connected with Bluetooth. This is s problem not only for Spotify, but for Apple Music, and Podcasts. And, it happens in BMW's and elsewhere. Does ANYONE have a general solution to this...

TuneIn and song requests are not working EXCEPT when I am at home on wifi - then they work perfectly. Seems like an issue with the wireless connection. Talked with Tesla service who said that this may be the case. We need to let Tesla know en masse.

Overall, I am impressed on theoretical issues, but terrified on practical ones. I traded in my non-AP, rear wheel drive Model S after 3 years for a new one with HW2 and AP2 to get 4WD and AP. Have had one AP software update allowing me to drive at 55 on highways. Here are a few observations...

Did you ask about Hookset?

My garage is detached, and the electric line actually runs behind it, so it was a no brainer. It costs me $10/mos. meter charge. I really had no choice because of the distance/asphalt from the house to the garage.

Yes, of course. I did switch to this for my garage only. It is a great rate. I don't use power in the garage on peak except for minor garage openings, etc.

Turned off the climate system and it is still much worse than historical. It is making me a little crazy. My lifetime average is starting to creep up. Has anyone had something like this happen? My commute and driving haven't changed.

Maybe a little over wrought. How about: "I wish the gardener did not waste time mowing your lawn, instead he/she should have been building a brick patio out of pavers."

Hmmm...it has cooled down a bit. Perhaps that is it. Bought the car in late April, and I haven't had much experience with the heater. Ok, thanks.

Nope. 45 psi all around. There is definitely something different. Some new way of calculating. One example I have noticed - the car now starts off extremely erratic in wh/m since last charge. Begins at over 1,000 then down to 165 then up to 315 then down to 230 (an example) before settling in...

OK. I take that silence to mean that nobody else has seen a change in energy consumption.

My local Tesla service took my car to repair the frunk crease. I had about 3,700 miles with average of 328 Wh/mi; the car had 5.9 on it. They gave me a loaner, a P85 with 5.12 on it. Consumption averaged around 370 Wh/mi. I assumed it was the souped up motor. However, my car came back with...

Why can't they build in MA, PA, or NH? PA isn't really "local" to New England, either.

I don't think this is the map. These are chargers at Tesla stores and service centers. Where are the "restaurants, hotels, beach parking and other locations?"

Yes, I stand corrected. - - - Updated - - - Level 2 would be completely useless.

Tesla announced Sturbridge in June, 2013 http://www.bostonglobe.com/business/2013/06/15/hot-seat-with-tesla-diarmuid-connell/UZQs9q5naDoayJgEqTW7PI/story.html Now, one year later, it is Auburn. But NO sign of anything happening. This is something that they do very badly (predicting...

"They don't know" is being kind. The sell I got about superchargers (and some other things) was akin to a sleazy used car sales organization.

I highly doubt the Hookset chargers will be ready by this ski season. It doesn't even look like Auburn will be done for Western MA. The pace of NE superchargers is ridiculously slow. Tesla is treating the area like the rural Midwest.

Yes, but there comes a time when beta converts to GA. There is code freeze, and a schedule of a release. So, if you are one to two weeks away (as the previous poster suggested) you should have a predictable schedule. On the other hand, I would think they would wait until after Labor Day as the...

Are you sure they noticed it? Are you sure it didn't happen after they worked on your car, while it was parked and waiting for you?

Brianman: The atmospheric pressure and oxygen will be virtually the same as the surrounding outside air. The only concern is temperature.

You are exactly right. That is what I thought. It was a strip mall where there were two small stores in a summer vacation community. In a civil society she should have popped her head in to the two stores and asked about the dog. I get the sense that she (and some others in this situation) want...

Animal activists and Model S Hey guys - I was in the store for FIVE minutes. The woman was ridiculous. She was concerned that I didn't "crack the window" when the sunroof was wide open. FIVE minutes. Sheesh. Ps - the a/c was not on. But no dog is going to bake in a car with the sunroof open...

Seems like you need a sign to put in the window - A/C ON, temperature 68 inside. Dog is fine.

"But Captain, she called the Enterprise a garbage scow!" Had an interesting experience. Parked the car on an 83 degree day with the sunroof at 43% open and my dog inside. Plenty of air. Went into a convenience store for 5 minutes and came outside and overheard an older woman on the phone with...

Yesterday, in a parking lot, I had several people tell me what a beautiful car it was. Then, one guy walked over and said "do you have to plug it in, or does it charge by using the brakes. I heard it charges by using the brakes." So, I told him "yes, you have to plug it in" and explained...

Not just skiing areas. Hiking, lake houses, etc.

Just saw this. It is going to be built on an entirely new platform. $35K base. 200+ miles range.

So, at this point, there are no other possible "coming soon" or "2014" superchargers in NE (except the Sagamore charger), as they would run into winter? That's what it feels like. A whole year, and New England remains a wasteland.

Tesla translator viz. Superchargers (at least for New England): Coming soon = 2015 (maybe, or we might not do it or do something else instead) 2014 = 2016 - 2017 2015 = 2017 - 2018

March 10: Thank you for your interest in our Hooksett project. I have been in touch with Tesla and in fact I am trying to meet with a Rep today. In addition to the potential for Tesla we will have some longer term charging stations. Both Alex and I have stations at 2 of our 3 hotels. Rusty...

There has been a lot written about this, and we have contacted the Supercharger group about this. A Hookset supercharger is absolutely essential as the gateway to NH and VT. Hookset is being rebuilt and supposedly they are "in discussions" with Tesla. This won't happen until next year, I am...

Todd: Great video segment! All we need is a Hookset supercharger and Vermont opens up for Tesla.

Mission Control: Buckaroo, The White House wants to know is everything ok with the alien space craft from Planet 10 or should we just go ahead and destroy Russia? Buckaroo Banzai: Tell him yes on one and no on two. Mission Control: Which one was yes, go ahead and destroy Russia... or number 2?

I have to admit, I am happy that there was a delay. I got my car, and really like NOT having a center console. I wouldn't buy one if I came up on the list. I bought this: McGuire-Nicholas 22565-1 Mighty Bag Compact Tool Storage Tote, 7-Inch, Gray - Nail Bag - Amazon.com which works great and...

Without Hookset, there is nothing practical in NH. They have been promising this one.

The Supercharger maps are simply misleading. Tesla is deliberately over- representing what they can build to grow interest in cars. It is very disappointing. Same thing with the Chademo adapter, center console, etc.

I find this hard to believe, in that the Sagamore supercharger makes a lot more sense, and was up before the town for approval. Does anyone know what happened? They aren't going to put two in the Cape. Dennis doesn't make sense for location either. I am guessing the employee got the location...

Have the car about 1.5 months and have done neutral 4-5 times and 2 foot brake/accelerator once. It is surprising and causes a bit of panic first couple of times it happens.

Tesla Sales Banned in New Jersey Good luck with that. Changing a recently changed law is more difficult than getting it right the first time. Ps - it Ian't 4% Teslas. It is 4% ZEVs. If Leaf sales take off, they will crowd out Tesla sales.

The author is apparently well aware of Teslas. Several days ago, in an article on hacking your car and security, he wrote the following. Until we learn otherwise, let's be kind and. assume that he actually included Tesla in the article on wireless updates and his editor cut it because of article...

http://www.njleg.state.nj.us/2014/Bills/A3500/3096_I1.PDF or in HTML: A3096 The bill allows ZEV manufacturers (and then, seemingly any manufacturer) to sell direct in the state as long as they sell less than 4% of the cars in a state. This seems a half way measure. Essentially, it says...

Mega dittos.

Exactly right. Centripetal force is no different for cars and motorcycles.

This is basic physics. You should always maintain a constant speed during a curve; this will require keeping your foot on the accelerator. When you maintain a constant speed, you are actually accelerating towards the center of the curve; this is known as centripetal acceleration. If you slow...
